Give me your heart and I'll show you how to feel

We all need a deeper purpose. One that's true and bold
    Dadd4 C               Am             E7           Am  
The only thing that could hurt us is the curse of the fold
(Strumming)
  Am                      Dadd4 C     Am  
I once knew a man who had fire in his eyes
Am                        Dadd4     C       Am   
Bloody right hand, he had taken his enemies lives
    Dadd4 C      Am     
The past was his torture
    Dadd4  C        Am  
The future held his hope
   Dadd4 C         Am              E7           Am  
Until he chose his fortune has the curse of the fold

[Chorus]
   F             G          E7    Am       F       G    E7  
Although you may feel like giving up, it's not the only road
    F         G     E7  Am             F            E7         Am   
The path less often traveled holds the highest, the highest of hopes

Am // x8

[Verse]
(Finger-picking)
Am                        Dadd4 C          Am      
Some used to say that I'd never scale this mountain
Am                                 Dadd4    C          Am      
Now that I'm close they shut their eyes and draw their curtains
Dadd4     C        Am  
Those who don't believe
     Dadd4     C         Am 
Will always encourage defeat
        Dadd4      C         Am            E7           Am  
They'll scream and shout and scold for the curse of the fold

[Chorus]
(Strumming)
   F       G          E7    Am       F       G      E7   
Although I felt like giving up, it's not the road I chose
    F          G    E7  Am            F            E7         Am   
The path less often traveled held the highest, the highest of hopes
         F            E7         Am   
Held the highest, the highest of hopes
